Newly minted fragrances
Date: 09.08.2008
Mint seems to be making a comeback in perfumery this season. The essence, which had been perceived as a bit cliché – too clean, too sharp… in a word, too “toothpaste,”) seems to have gotten back into the fragrance world’s good graces. Cartier has made it the star of their new men’s scent, Roadster, using an overdose of mint in a lavender-free fougere accord. In Guerlain Homme, it is paired with citrus notes and rum to create a mojito accord. Unisex and more oriental, Esteban’s latest scent, Cuir (“Leather”), is energized with a note of fresh mint. Other recent fragrances with mint: Jo Malone’s aromatic-floral White Jasmine & Mint, Calvin Klein’s woody Man and Hugo Boss’s fresh-aromatic Hugo XY. And mint fans shouldn’t forget these older scents: Mojito (Demeter) and Menthe Fraîche (Heeley) of course, as well as Herba Fresca (Aqua Allegoria / Guerlain) and Eau d’Orange Verte (Hermès)…
